Redo Rescue: Bare-Metal Recovery Without the Headaches

What Is It?

Redo Rescue is a live Linux-based recovery tool focused on full disk imaging, bare-metal restore, and emergency system recovery. Unlike some backup solutions that require setting up agents, servers, or background daemons, Redo runs entirely from bootable media — USB or ISO — and performs point-in-time snapshots of disks or partitions.

It’s built for moments when the system won’t boot, but you need everything back the way it was — fast. Whether it’s a ransomware attack, a broken update, or a wiped laptop, Redo Rescue gives a simple interface to clone, back up, and restore machines with zero reliance on the original OS.

Deployment Notes

– Runs outside the OS: Must boot from ISO or USB — cannot run inside a live Windows/Linux system.
– Linux-based: Underlying system is Debian; supports ext, NTFS, FAT, btrfs, and more.
– No incremental backups: Always performs full image backup and restore.
– Network backups need setup: For CIFS/NFS, credentials must be entered at runtime.
– Not for file-by-file restores: This is for full machine snapshots only.
